City Police Charge Suspect In Inner Harbor Stabbing; Fight Started Over A Woman

Baltimore Police said they have arrested a Frederick man in a fatal stabbing near the Inner Harbor this past weekend.

Police have charged 24-year-old Matthew Darby with first degree murder.

Detective Vernon Davis said 20-year-old Anthony Black, of Baltimore, got into an argument with Darby and a second man. The argument happened as Black was leaving his job early Sunday at the Cheesecake Factory.

Police said the two men were intoxicated and had just left the Power Plant area when they approached Black's girlfriend who was meeting him after work.

The fight escalated and Darby allegedly stabbed Black who later died at the hospital.

The victim was being picked up by his girlfriend along the 200 block of East Pratt Street at the time, according to Detective Davis.

No one else was hurt, officials say.

The second person identified as being with Darby is not a suspect. Police said he attempted to de-escalate the confrontation.
